[Thanks for your awesome comments about my new upcoming pattern, also the giveaway portion of this post is now closed!]

I’m so happy to be on the Collage blog tour today! Thanks so much to Carrie of Such Designs and Windham. I’m so happy to be able to sew with this gorgeous prints. They’re just beautiful together and apart. Carrie had the most wonderful sense of style and her fabric really shows it. I especially love that within the text prints are words of encouragement. Who doesn’t need a little encouragement now and then?! It makes it more meaningful and special to me.

When I heard about Collage, I had just finished putting some final details on my newest pattern. [I’m sending it out to my pattern testers shortly and hope to have the pattern for sale by the end of April.] I was super honored to be able to use Collage for this huge tote! The new pattern has lots of opportunities to combine different fabrics and I can’t stop myself from coming up with all sorts of different combinations.

Ok, so here’s a little scoop on the new pattern and then we’ll get to giving away an awesome layer cake (10″ squares) of Collage, yep! Just for you!

Please leave your email address in your comment. You can leave it in a format like this if you wish: anna [at] gmail [dot] com, it’s up to you though, if you have your email listed in your blogger profile, that works too!

One winner will be chosen. Open to international entries.

Giveaway ends Saturday, April 20th.

Collage should be available at your local independent quilt shops and favorite online retailers in July so be sure to ask if they’ll be stocking this lovely line! Oh and be sure to visit Carrie’s blog to see all the other project made with Collage! Thank you Carrie!

Amazing! I always love your bags… if I had to describe them I would say tote bags made for people who love tote bags, designed by someone who loves tote bags! This is perfection, can’t wait to get my hands on the pattern. And the fabric is great, would have some fun playing with that layer cake!

Cute! Last night I cut the pieces to make a bunch of gathered clutches for Christmas presents (yep, I’m starting THIS early, lol) & now you show us this cool tote. I can’t wait for the pattern or the fabric.

I can’t wait to see the details on your new bag! It looks like something I’ll be making this summer for sure The Collage fabric is absolutely awesome and I can’t wait to get my hands on it…winning this would give me a chance to get an early start!! Thank you for the opportunity! lloren (at) bbandt (dot)com or luckycloverchic83 (at) gmail.com

I love this bag – I can’t wait for the pattern. My daughter’s would love this as a beach bag and I could sure use a new bag for lugging stuff back and forth from work. thank you!ckieswet[at]uwaterloo[dot]ca

This bag is PERFECT! I have been searching for just this design for my two daughters in track and field that need to haul extra shoes to their indoor “field” as we are in Alaska and the snow is still piled high. Awesome design and fabric! THANKS for the opportunity!! ame (dot) ann at gmail.

I think you must be a mindreader — I was JUST thinking I needed a bigger tote bag for tee-ball/baseball season, and there ya go. I’m SO EXCITED! When can I buy this pattern!?! Yippee. I love the fabric choices — well done, as usual!!

I love that bag! There are so many pockets inside it, and a handy zipper The collage fabrics are so cute- The inspirational text is a great idea.

The thing I loved most on that bag (and it seems kind of funny) are the straps. They are really pretty and.. well… perfectly “quilted”My email should be attached to my profile.Thanks for this awesome giveaway, and congrats to whoever wins the really cute layer cate

I hadn’t realized how big this tote was until I saw the picture with the shoes in it. This would be great to pack kid activities in for those long vacation car rides. Thanks for the chance!ellen(at)myerly(dot)net

Anna this bag is fabulous and look forward to choosing some great fabrics. My absolute favourite thing to do is make a bag for a friend, put a divine fabric on the inside of a bag and watch peoples faces when they open their bag. Like a present inside a present!Nic (Australia)galorepk@bigpond.com
